Blog: fillmyheartup.blogspot.com "Fill my heart up."

What is something interesting about you?: I love to read memoirs, and I can't wait to write my own one day. I'm honestly going to write one and have it published, so keep an eye out for it within the next 10 years or so. I'm currently a broke college student living in a little one bedroom apartment with my amazing boyfriend, Evan, and my adorable West Highland Terrier, Luca. I have never had the chicken pox, I refuse to write with black ink pens, I have been to 46 of the United States, I'm extremely empathetic, and collecting TV shows on DVD is one of my obsessions. <3

Why did you begin blogging?: I began my current blog on Blogger because I forgot how much I love to write, and blogging is such an easy outlet for it! Plus, it's so fun to make new friends online and read other people's blogs too!

How long have you been blogging?: I started a blog on Xanga when I was fifteen. I switched to Myspace blogging when I was seventeen and I blogged religiously there for about 3 years. I used blogging back then as an outlet to help me get through some extremely hard struggles in my life. I'm a blog newbie to Blogger, though. I just started in September, but I plan to keep up with it for a long, long time. It's so addictive! =]

What is your inspiration for writing?: Day to day life inspires me. I just want to write about what is going on with me. I love the thought of being able to go back to any random day and remembering what my life was like "back then". I love having a place to go to get my thoughts out of my head. I also love the fact that I have an "audience". Any person can stumble upon my blog and decide whether or not they want to read it. Maybe something that I write will inspire them or make them smile. And because this is life, and things aren't always happy and perfect, maybe during a hard time my writing can help them with a personal struggle of their own.

Do you have any advice that you want to share with fellow lady bloggers?: Be honest and be yourself. Write whatever you want, without worrying what anyone else will think, because ultimately...your blog is for you.

What is something you look forward to most in the future (blog or otherwise?): Because I just recently started my new blog, I look forward to having more posts! I also would love to have more followers. It makes me happy knowing that someone else is enjoying my blog, other than me. As far as otherwise goes, my boyfriend and I are moving into a new house in a couple months, and I'm sooo looking forward to that!!
